"Battle of Britain" - 1969



"Battle of Britain" is a War Movie Blockbuster with excellent aerial combat sequences.
Director Guy Hamilton and Producer Harry Saltzman had more money to play with than
my favorite Chorizo War Movie Artists Jose Luis Merino and Leon Klimvosky had for
all their flicks together!
